With billions of nerve cells present throughout our body, people can sometimes experience crossed wires and or unexpected misfires along the way. This pillar is about nerve cells, or “neurons”, and a discussion of the body’s master command center that supports communication between our different systems. Understand how your nervous system stays hard at work throughout the day, and what can create a disturbance.

The human body comprises billions of nerve cells. Nerve cells, or ‘neurons’, play a vital role in the body’s master command center, supporting communication between different systems and staying hard at work all day long. The embedded PDF explores 20^th century breakthroughs by researchers exploring the issue of neurogenesis.

From time to time, neurons can ‘misfire’, resulting in a disturbance. When nerves do not function properly, this can result in nerve pain. This can arise for a variety of different reasons, including poor nutrition.

Stretching for 20 minutes a day then walking for half an hour, five days a week, can help to alleviate nerve pain. For those who find walking difficult, they can start off walking around the house or just taking a short walk down the road, gradually increasing duration.

Low-impact aerobic exercises, such as cycling or swimming, have also been shown to have a positive impact. Both forms of exercise are low impact in terms of muscles, joints, and bones, while simultaneously boosting blood circulation.

Stretching exercises and resistance training have also been shown to help alleviate chronic nerve pain. You can learn more about how exercise helps to improve both physical and mental health and wellbeing by viewing the embedded video.
